ExternalParser
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1639?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14560782#comment-14560782 ]

-------------------------------------------------------------
[~chrismattmann], thank you for adding this capability. The aliasing mod is important.
More broadly, do you happen to know what file formats/metadata keys we'd get with the EXIFTool that we aren't currently pulling?
It looks like you've chosen to trigger it for only the following now:
{noformat}
video/avi
video/mpeg
video/x-msvideo
video/mp4
{noformat}
[~rgauss], clearly you saw the same need... Do you have any documentation on the benefits over what we had? Thank you!
